Application May 15, 1934, Serial No. 725,688

1 Claim.

My invention relates to a liquid dispensing apparatus, and while primarily intended for dispensing liquid shampoo in hair dressing establishments, it is obvious that the device may be employed for any other purposes wherein it is found to be applicable.

Important objects of the invention are to provide a shampoo dispenser of the character described, which will expedite and facilitate hair shampooing operations, which is simple in its construction and arrangement, sanitary, compact, attractive in appearance, conveniently operable, and comparatively economical in its manufacture and use.

With the foregoing' and other ob-jects in View which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts herein specically described and illustrated in the' accompanying drawing, but it is to be understood that the latter is merely illustrative of an embodiment of the invention, and that the actual needs of practice and manufacture may necessitate certain mechanical variations from the embodiment shown. It is, therefore, not intended to limit the invention to the disclosure thereof illustrated, but rather to dene such limitations in the scope of the claims hereunto appended.

In the drawing wherein like numerals of reference designate corresponding parts throughout the several views:

Figure 1 is a side elevational view of a shampoo dispenser constructed in accordance with the invention.

Figure 2 is a top plan view of the lshampoo receptacle.

Referring in detail to the drawing I denotes a container or receptacle having a flared open top 2, which is provided with a removable closure lid 3. The receptacle may be constructed from any suitable material, and has a tapering lower portion converging toward the centrally disposed reduced lower end 4. The latter is provided with an aperture 5 through which the liquid shampoo 6 is dispensed from the receptacle.

A flexible hose 'I is communicably joined to the apertured lower end 4, of the receptacle I, by

(Cl. R21-67) means of a connecting sleeve 8, or in any other suitable manner. The free end of the hose is provided wth a valve 9, which is detachable and operable for controlling and regulating the ow of the liquid shampoo from the receptacle during the 5 hair shampooing operations.

The receptacle I is supported in the vertical position by a supporting bracket I0, which is xed in position to the supporting structure. The receptacle is removably mounted upon the free end 10 of the horizontal bracket arm II, which is suitably apertured for the passage of the connecting sleeve 8, and disposed at the lower end of the supporting bracket. The upper end of the receptacle is engaged and surrounded by a band or ring I2 fixed to the upper end of the supporting bracket, and projecting forwardly from the latter.

The connecting sleeve 8 is preferably provided with a shut-ofi valve I3 to permit the draining of the hose 1 and thereby eliminate the possibility 20 The present invention provides a most eiiicient 30 device of its kind, which will obviously facilitate hair shampooing operations, and which may embody receptacle capacities best suited to meet conditions found in practice.

Whatl claim is:

In combination, a liquid ldispensing apparatus comprising, a receptacle, a connecting sleeve fixed in the lower end of the latter, a ilexible hose `ioined with said sleeve, a control valve carried at the free 'end of said hose, a ring member engaging and surrounding the upper portion of said receptacle, .a support for said support having its upper end fixed to said ring member, said support including a horizontal arm engaging and supporting the lower end of said receptacle and '15 provided with an aperture for the passage of said sleeve.
